They are also engaged in some very stately and formal, yet erratic, dancing. And perhaps fighting over an eggin the midst of it all.

Yes, to all of that. I find this one just amazing, because when I look at it, I don’t think sun spots.
This is the third time I’ve popped back to look at this. It’s msemerizing and very, very beautiful.
Oops, mesmerizing.
Awesome. The result of staring at the Sun -- through a telescope, specially designed and filtered to allow through only the very tiniest fraction of its light? Or maybe by projection of the solar image through a scope onto a surface to sketch from? Fascinating and beautiful either way. Thankyou for this.
